We also continue to be ranked as the 6th largest medical device cluster in the nation with over 340 medical device, diagnostic and instruments companies. Colorado is positioned as a leader in this sector and this conference provides us an opportunity to promote the state.” The Colorado team at AdvaMed 2013 is looking forward to sharing the vast opportunities that Colorado has to offer the medical device and diagnostic companies that are looking to either expand or relocate their operations. The medical device sector is also the fastest growing bioscience sector in the state.
